How Emily Saved the Bridge: The Story of Emily Warren Roebling and the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge | 
pickI am torn on so-so and a pick, so pick it shall be! This book taught me some interesting facts about the Brooklyn Bridge and showcases a woman who was significant to women's history in the United States. It felt a little boring to me, but it also felt like it had an empowering tone. I liked the illustrations as well. #NonfictionPicturebook #Picturebook

pick#MagicalMay Day 1: Fats‘ review: “It‘s not just the fact that Emily Warren Roebling was the only female who helped build the Brooklyn Bridge that made the story remarkable. When Washington got sick, Emily took charge of everything: their home, Washington‘s illness, & their son. #MayDay Emily read books, consulted with her husband every day to learn everything she possibly could about engineering and building bridges.” https://wp.me/pDlzr-kTb
